Humbug! On a cobblestone street in London, on a cold Christmas Eve,
the wealthy, greedy Ebenezer Scrooge is staying late at work at his
"counting-house," keeping his clerk, poor Bob Cratchit, busy and
cold and away from his family. But little does Scrooge know that
his old business partner, Jacob Marley - dead for seven years - is
about to pay him a ghostly visit! His intention: to warn Scrooge
that three spirits, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and
future, will be soon coming to see him, in order to convince him to
change his ways before it's too late! As Scrooge comes to see the
mistakes he's made, as only the three spirits can show him, he
realises that nothing is better than being loved by his family and
his fellow people. In this gorgeously illustrated instant-hardcover
classic, the true meaning of Christmas is brought to life!
